A post on All Games Beta shows tweets from Evolve PR dude Tom Ohle revealing his excitement over a Cyberpunk 2077 trailer, saying this look at CD Projekt RED's upcoming cyberpunk RPG will be released for all to see 'next weekish.' As far as we can see, there are no longer the tweets in the feed corresponding to what they posted, but there is a conversation that refers to a trailer using nearly the same "Next week. Ish" phrase, which suggests the AGB story may be based tweets that were deleted after this became news. Ish. Thanks VG247.

cyberpunk was always about the nasty, dirty side of the future - it was like the writers wanted to make "neuromancer - the rpg".. tons and tons of implants and enhancements and all that - but the book art and descriptions gave it a very "gritty" feel, and playing the game with all those components inevitably gave it a certain harsh atmosphere that i found unique at the time - and even though shadowrun came out soon after, its just really not the same at all

its a great fit for CD Projekt Red.. the source material is right up their alley.. its a very adult style RPG

Yeah, that does sound really cool. I think they are a great fit for a really gritty/dark RPG.

Looking forward to Cyberpunk but I'm pretty sure this "trailer" is just going to be an extremely brief CGI teaser, if even that. It will probably just be flashes of concept art and renders with a few soundbites and then the game's logo, kind of like the DX:HR teaser a while back.

And yeah, Tanto's comment about the "glut" of futuristic games is pretty silly, especially when it comes to RPGs. There's certainly a glut of fantasy RPGs but sci-fi RPGs are a far rarer beast, especially cyberpunk sci-fi.

if you did, youd probably be pretty excited about this.. especially in light of witcher series

I never played the actual Cyberpunk RPG, but Shadowrun is fairly similar to it, right? (if you don't count the magical stuff from Shadowrun.)

SRR this year as well as that other title whose name escapes me. And is there anything else? So what? Maybe 3 games in total over 3 years? Wow, some glut. I'd hate to see what he considers the 50 million FPS clones out there.

Indeed. Modern Shooters and post-apocalyptic are the only genres that are being over done. At the end of the day who cares if a genre is popular, people are buying and are happy. Bring on a second wave of WW2 shooters please

The control scheme in the Weecher 2 sucks. Why the fuck can I not zoom in and out? Like cereal you guys! That and some other shit pisses me off. It's much better than the first but there's still a lot of needlessly verbose shit in-game.

“That's it. You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!”

I wouldn't say that the witcher games are perfect, but I would say that they're good real rpgs.

I just completed the Witcher 2. The dialogue is still very awkward, just like in the first game. They need to get someone who masters english to rewrite the dialogue. The game itself is better than the first one when it comes to action and momentum, but I found the story too political and less personal, which isn't really what you'd expect from a Witcher story. It still features a bit too much backtracking and it takes a while to engage. The graphics are amazing and the choices are fiendish, which is good.
